.efs Programming question

[shm000]

Hi,

I have attached the .efs "Trading the trend" I am trying to modify it so that a simple colored band, say green for bullish, red for bearish, can be seen at the top or bottom of the window, in a separate panel. This colored band would accomplish the same thing the indicator is doing now, only instead of coloring over the bars/candles, the bullish/bearish trend would be displayed in a simple two colored band, above or below the price panel.

I have gotten it to draw a single colored bar , but can't get it to repeat...I'm not much of an .efs programmer yet

By doing this, I can view the results of the trend indicator, but still be able to read my candlesticks as they are originally.

Thanks in advance for any help....I good point in the right direction would even help

Thanks!

In the efs change the statement setPriceStudy(true); to setPriceStudy(false);. This will set the study to plot as a non price study (ie in a separate pane)
Then in the main function replace each instance of setPriceBarColor(...) with setBarBgColor(...) which will paint the background of the pane instead of the price bars
